Bone Marrow
Transplant A bone marrow transplant is a medical procedure in which bone marrow from a healthy donor is transplanted into a person's body. Bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue found in the center of bones that produces blood cells. The transplanted marrow helps the body to produce blood cells and can restore normal blood cell production in individuals with certain medical conditions such as leukemia or immune system disorders. Additionally, bone marrow transplants can help to prevent relapses of certain types of cancers, and can be used to treat some blood disorders and bone diseases. By restoring the body's ability to make blood cells, bone marrow transplants can help to improve an individual's overall quality of life.
